Writer Memory - Agentic Memory System for Writers
Persistent memory system designed for creative writers, with first-class support for Korean storytelling workflows.
Overview
Writer Memory maintains context across Claude sessions for fiction writers. It tracks:
- Characters (캐릭터): Emotional arcs (감정궤도), attitudes (태도), dialogue tone (대사톤), speech levels
- World (세계관): Settings, rules, atmosphere, constraints
- Relationships (관계): Character dynamics and evolution over time
- Scenes (장면): Cut composition (컷구성), narration tone, emotional tags
- Themes (테마): Emotional themes (정서테마), authorial intent
All data persists in .writer-memory/memory.json for git-friendly collaboration.

Synopsis Generation (시놉시스)
The /synopsis command generates an emotion-focused summary using 5 essential elements:
5 Essential Elements (시놉시스 5요소)
-
주인공 태도 요약 (Protagonist Attitude Summary)
- How the protagonist approaches life/love/conflict
- Their core emotional stance
- Example: "새랑은 상실을 예방하기 위해 먼저 포기하는 사람"
-
관계 핵심 구도 (Core Relationship Structure)
- The central dynamic driving the story
- Power imbalances and tensions
- Example: "사랑받는 자와 사랑하는 자의 불균형"
-
정서적 테마 (Emotional Theme)
- The feeling the story evokes
- Not plot, but emotional truth
- Example: "손에 쥔 행복을 믿지 못하는 불안"
-
장르 vs 실제감정 대비 (Genre vs Real Emotion Contrast)
- Surface genre expectations vs. actual emotional content
- Example: "로맨스지만 본질은 자기수용 서사"
-
엔딩 정서 잔상 (Ending Emotional Aftertaste)
- The lingering feeling after the story ends
- Example: "씁쓸한 안도, 불완전한 해피엔딩의 여운"
Character Validation (캐릭터 검증)
The /validate command checks if dialogue matches a character's established voice.
What Gets Checked
| Check |
Description |
| Speech Level |
Does formality match? (반말/존댓말/해체) |
| Tone Match |
Does the emotional register fit? |
| Keyword Usage |
Uses characteristic words? |
| Taboo Violation |
Uses forbidden words? |
| Emotional Range |
Within character's baseline? |
| Context Fit |
Appropriate for relationship and scene? |
Validation Results
- PASS: Dialogue is consistent with character
- WARN: Minor inconsistencies, may be intentional
- FAIL: Significant deviation from established voice
Example:
/writer-memory validate 새랑 "사랑해, 해랑아. 너무 보고싶었어."
Output:
[FAIL] 새랑 validation failed:
- TABOO: "사랑해" - character avoids direct declarations
- TABOO: "보고싶었어" - character suppresses longing expressions
- TONE: Too emotionally direct for 새랑's 담백 style
Suggested alternatives:
- "...왔네." (minimal acknowledgment)
- "늦었다." (deflection to external fact)
- "밥 먹었어?" (care expressed through practical concern)
Context Query (맥락 질의)
Natural language queries against memory, with full Korean support.
Example Queries
/writer-memory query "새랑은 이 상황에서 뭐라고 할까?"
/writer-memory query "규리의 현재 감정 상태는?"
/writer-memory query "해랑과 새랑의 관계는 어디까지 왔나?"
/writer-memory query "이 장면의 정서적 분위기는?"
/writer-memory query "새랑이 먼저 연락하는 게 맞아?"
/writer-memory query "해랑이 화났을 때 말투는?"
The system synthesizes answers from all relevant memory types.
Behavior
- On Init: Creates
.writer-memory/memory.json with project metadata and empty collections
- Auto-Backup: Changes are backed up before modification to
.writer-memory/backups/
- Korean-First: Emotion vocabulary uses Korean terms throughout
- Session Loading: Memory is loaded on session start for immediate context
- Git-Friendly: JSON formatted for clean diffs and collaboration
Integration
With OMC Notepad System
Writer Memory integrates with .omc/notepad.md:
- Scene ideas can be captured as notes
- Character insights from analysis sessions are preserved
- Cross-reference between notepad and memory
With Architect Agent
For complex character analysis:
Task(subagent_type="oh-my-claudecode:architect",
model="opus",
prompt="Analyze 새랑's arc across all scenes...")
Character Validation Pipeline
Validation pulls context from:
- Character memory (tone, keywords, taboo)
- Relationship memory (dynamics with dialogue partner)
- Scene memory (current emotional context)
- Theme memory (authorial intent)
Synopsis Builder
Synopsis generation aggregates:
- All character arcs
- Key relationship events
- Scene emotional tags
- Theme expressions
